Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

It was the son of the Minister of Rites who put righteousness before family, not the like, so there was no need to involve so many night watchmen.

Li Xuan's expression shifted, but he feigned ignorance and asked, "What happened again?"

Nangong Qianrou parted her lips slightly and said, "A major event has occurred in the family of the Minister of Rites."

“Li Feng, the son of Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, killed his father out of a sense of justice, and then committed suicide.”

"Huh?" Li Xuan feigned shock.

"Such a major event has occurred. Li Feng is truly a man who puts righteousness above family ties. He is admirable."

"Admirable?" Nangong Qianrou sneered, "You really think Li Feng is that kind of good person? This man usually does evil, is arrogant and domineering, and does all kinds of evil. He is just like his father, Li Yulang. They are both the kind of people who will die a bad death."

"So even if he killed his own father, there is no need to sing praises for such a person."

If it weren't for Li Feng's long history of bad behavior, I would almost have admired his act of putting family members aside for the greater good.

Li Xuan asked, "If that's the case, then why did Li Feng kill his father?"

Nangong Qianrou shook her head and said, "This is exactly what we can't figure out."

“A person like Li Feng would never kill his own father, who is his biggest backer.”

"This case is really strange."

"Also, I went to the scene to investigate and found that Li Feng's methods were a bit strange."

Nangong Qianrou paused for a moment and continued, "It's just like Li Yulang letting Li Feng kill him without any resistance or reaction. Something's not right."

Li Yulang was a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, and his cultivation level was at the fifth rank.

His son, Li Feng, was only at the eighth rank.

Even if they launched a sneak attack, they wouldn't be able to kill Li Yulang.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

Of course something's wrong.

Because Li Yulang had already fallen into a coma at that time.

Li Feng was under his control.

He remained expressionless and said, "I don't know."

Nangong Qianrou was taken aback, then frowned and said, "However, I think there's something wrong here."

Thinking it over, she looked at Li Xuan and said, "Come with me to the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau)."

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"

Nangong Qianrou said, "The investigation revealed that Li Feng had an argument with you at the Jiaofangsi last night. Go and investigate to see if there's any connection."

"Furthermore, after investigating Li Feng's situation, it was discovered that all six of his men who were responsible for protecting him have disappeared."

“It’s strange that he went back to the mansion alone last night.”

Li Xuan was startled.

As expected of a night watchman, their intelligence network is truly impressive.

They had already figured out Li Feng's situation and the six missing people by morning.

Moreover, they sensed something was amiss and something suspicious.

"Let's go!"

Nangong Qianrou turned around and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Li Xuan had no choice but to follow.

Anyway, he did it flawlessly, and no one knew.

The bodies of the six guards were also completely burned by the Samadhi True Fire, and were long ago scattered by the wind without a trace.

As for last night at the brothel, he wore a mask and no one saw his face.

of course.

Apart from Fu Xiang and her maid.

However, both of them were spies of the demon race.

It's impossible for it to be exposed.

About 15 minutes later.

Li Xuan, Nangong Qianrou, and about a dozen of his gong-wielding subordinates arrived at the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

Nangong Qianrou waved her hand and ordered, "Take control of the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau)."

As soon as he finished speaking, the night watchman immediately took control of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

Nangong Qianrou entered and said, "Summon all the staff of your Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment institution) and report on the incident of Li Feng's argument with someone last night. Have them come one by one."

"The gong is responsible for interrogation and detailed recording."

"Yes!" The gongs were obeyed one by one.

The head of the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) also quickly mobilized personnel to cooperate.

soon.

One by one, the people came out.

Fu Xiang and her maid were among them.

The two planned to leave the Jiaofangsi today and head to Li Xuan's residence.

But it's only morning, and I haven't had time to process it yet.

Fu Xiang's almond-shaped eyes flickered when she saw Li Xuan.

Li Xuan gave him a wink, indicating that he was reassured.

At this moment, Nangong Qianrou stepped forward and said coldly, "A major incident occurred last night. Li Feng, the son of the Minister of Rites, murdered his own father, Li Yulang, and then committed suicide."

The words fell.

The people present were immediately startled and began to discuss among themselves.

Fu Xiang's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

Because Li Feng and Li Xuan had a conflict last night.

But then I thought of Li Feng killing his father and then committing suicide.

This has nothing to do with Li Xuan.

It's impossible for Li Xuan to order Li Feng to kill his father, Li Yulang, and then let him commit suicide, right?

Nangong Qianrou's voice continued, "Next, you will tell me everything that happened to Li Feng at the brothel last night."

soon.

They began interrogation and investigation.

Half an hour later.

Nangong Qianrou frowned and said, "A young man wearing a mask?"

"He possesses exceptional musical talent, as well as poetic talent."

"None of you know who this person is?"

The official in charge of the Imperial Music Bureau responded, "Sir, the man was wearing a mask, so we cannot see his face. We only know his build and height."

"However, that person was later invited up to the pavilion by Miss Fuxiang, so perhaps Miss Fuxiang knows more about him."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianrou immediately looked at Fuxiang.

She had heard of the most beautiful courtesan in this brothel, who was said to be stunningly beautiful, charming, and exquisitely beautiful.

Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation.

No wonder Li Feng, the son of the Minister of Rites, coveted and fawned over him so much.

The thought flashed through her mind. She looked at the gong-wielding subordinate beside her and said, "Record the masked man's physique, height, clothing, etc., and then conduct a thorough investigation."

After saying that, she looked at Fu Xiang and asked, "Do you know anything about the masked man?"

"Did he reveal his face and identity in the attic?"

She stared at Fu Xiang, observing her carefully.

Fu Xiang remained calm and said, "This person followed me into the pavilion and continued to wear a mask, not showing his face."

"Fu Xiang also doesn't know this person's true identity or appearance."

Nangong Qianrou saw nothing unusual or concealed on Fu Xiang's face.

"It seems that Fu Xiang was not lying."

She was unaware that Fu Xiang was a spy for the demon race, and had long been proficient in tests such as lying.

In addition, he possesses a demon clan treasure that can conceal his fluctuations.

Even Nangong Qianrou, who was at the late fourth rank, couldn't detect anything amiss.
